Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Tourist destinations are subject to the strategies and interactions of the people who reside in them, with complementary and sometimes conflicting interests. To ensure that these destinations remain competitive, Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) are tasked with stimulating cooperation between all partners (independents, organizations, networks).Tourist Destinations According to Stakeholder Strategies is based on a series of case studies that are analyzed and discussed from a dual geographical and managerial perspective. This enables us to extract operational typologies and propose recommendations for actors in the tourism sector.The authors have opted for an original and innovative name for the object of study, "Localized Tourism Systems" (LTS), thus emphasizing the triple aim of territorialization, tourism activities and actors that interact together in collective projects.

Advanced Studies in the Mathematical Theory of Scattering, Volume 3
AvJean-Michel L. Bernard
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 759 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book presents a collection of independent mathematical studies, describing the analytical reduction of complex generic problems in the theory of scattering and propagation of electromagnetic waves in the presence of imperfectly conducting objects.Their subjects include: a global method for scattering by a multimode plane; diffraction by an impedance curved wedge; scattering by impedance polygons; advanced properties of spectral functions in frequency and time domains; bianisotropic media and related coupling expressions; and exact and asymptotic reductions of surface radiation integrals.The methods developed here can be qualified as analytical when they lead to exact explicit expressions, or semi-analytical when they drastically reduce the mathematical complexity of studied problems. Therefore, they can be used in mathematical physics and engineering to analyse and model, but also in applied mathematics to calculate the scattered fields in electromagnetism for a low computational cost.

China's international tourism industry is gradually rising from the ashes after three years of travel restrictions imposed in response to China's "zero Covid" policy. This gradual recovery has prompted three geographers, specialized in understanding these trends, to pool their research and present an overview of the current state of Chinese international outbound tourism.Drawing on their extensive field experience in Wuhan, Phuket, Paris and Nice, these three researchers have combined their complementary and original approaches to explore the underlying mechanisms of the flow of Chinese tourists, from their origins to the most popular destinations.Chinese Outbound Tourism highlights the particularities of the Chinese tourism system, as well as the complex dynamics at work behind the 170 million international trips made before the pandemic by nationals of this "socialist country with Chinese characteristics".
Towards a Unification of the Laws of Physics in Classical Fields Theory

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The unification of the laws of physics – a legitimate and long-standing aspiration – is undertaken here using the framework of discrete mechanics. Towards a Unification of the Laws of Physics in Classical Fields Theory extends these concepts to classical field physics.This book examines and revisits the fundamental principles of physics to derive a unified law of motion capable of modeling the phenomena observed, which are currently described by disparate laws. The global reference frames of classical mechanics and relativity are abandoned: space is defined from a one-dimensional local reference frame, and time is considered discrete. Applying the principle of parsimony to the derivation of this single law leads to the rejection of many concepts from classical mechanics and relativity, retaining only proper acceleration as the sole absolute quantity.The construction of this unified law of motion paves the way for a rational resolution of phenomena relating to mechanics, special and general relativity, electromagnetism and, more broadly, physics as a whole

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The digital regime and its bio-anthropotechnology, characteristic of hypermodernity, are giving rise to unprecedented living and working conditions. Relational, inter-individual and exchange systems are being transformed. Technologies bring new ways of communicating, speaking, writing, organizing and controlling tasks. They are explicit, but their reticularities also operate invisibly, underground. However, they define powerful norms for work.Beyond the digital object, at the heart of the computerization process of the last fifty years in France, a progressive transformation of the work regime has taken place. As our social ecologies adapt, adopt, conform and metamorphose, conflict, polemics and sometimes creative resistance emerge.The Hypermodernity Factory is based on an investigation carried out within an administrative department of Inria (the French public institute for research into information technology and techniques) – then in the midst of a social crisis – to discern psychic and collective individuation processes, in a context of instability and specific communication difficulties. Immersed in these almost disruptive anthropotechnical conditions, and subject to unavoidable processes of subjectivation, the subject of office life, from manager to employee, finds themselves in a confused situation; they are constantly living a complex experience of their own in the hybrid, dynamic evolution of the digital regime.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Monitoring the human body is a key element of digital health science. Low-cost sensors derived from smartphones or smartwatches may give the impression that sensors are readily available; however, to date, very few of them are actually medical devices.Designing medical devices requires us to undertake a specific approach demanding special skills, as it concerns the integrity of the human body. The process is tightly framed by state regulations in order to ensure compliance with quality assessment, risk management and medical ethics requirements.This book aims to give biomedical students an overview on medical devices design. It firstly gives a historical and economical approach, then develops key elements in medical device design with reference to EU and US regulations, and finally describes sensors for the human body. The clinical approach is presented as the central element in medical device qualification and this offers a perspective on the use of numerical simulation, particularly since its continued growth in the USA; despite the fact that the approach is strictly limited by regulations.

The Use of Algae in Human Health explores the use of algae in traditional Asian medicine, for both preventive and curative purposes. The book looks at both historical and current uses, as algae is still used on an empirical basis in popular medicine in Asia.The first part of this book focuses on the integration of algae into the therapeutic practice of ethnomedicine. The second part focuses on molecules derived from algae, which include fucoidans, alginates, carrageenans and polyphenols; they have been described in the scientific literature as having therapeutic activities both in vitro and in vivo.These varied functions (antitumoral, antiviral, antibacterial, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant) are of major interest in human health. However, new drugs based on algal molecules are proving slow to develop. The book reviews the scientific, technological and economic obstacles that may explain why development is lagging.

Our knowledge of living organisms is still very limited, with less than 20% of the world’s species known to date. It is therefore essential to increase our efforts to inventory biodiversity. This is the goal of scientific research, but it is also a vital responsibility in the face of the sixth extinction. With so many species set to disappear before they can be analyzed, the compilation of this inventory now represents a major challenge.Thanks to the collaborative work of numerous researchers from the Institut de systématique, évolution, biodiversité (ISYEB) and other institutions, Inventory of Biodiversity Today presents the latest methods of field data collection and analysis. Strategies have diversified and are providing new and ever-more-precise data on a growing number of specimens. All of these data are integrated to delimit and describe living species, and are accessible to as many people as possible, so we can all take action on a daily basis to better understand and preserve our planet.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This comprehensive book establishes the Zili generalized fractional Brownian motion (ZgfBm) as a powerful new foundation in the mathematical theory of stochastic processes.Generalized Fractional Brownian Motion provides the first rigorous and systematic stochastic analysis of the ZgfBm, a versatile Gaussian process that uniquely extends both the classic fractional Brownian motion with stationary increments and the sub-fractional Brownian motion with nonstationary increments. Defined by three tunable parameters, the ZgfBm offers unprecedented flexibility for modeling complex phenomena across diverse fields, overcoming the limitations of single-parameter models.The book carefully builds from foundational Gaussian theory and key fractional processes to advanced topics, including a complete methodology for parameter estimation, the development of a rigorous stochastic calculus with generalized Itô formulas and an investigation into the regularity of solutions to stochastic heat equations. This essential resource provides researchers, practitioners and graduate students with a unified and in-depth perspective on advanced fractional Gaussian processes.

Standards, although often perceived as restrictive, are indispensable: without them, chaos and inefficiency prevail. This book traces the long history of standardization, first focusing on the period from antiquity to the 19th century – a foundational era for major international standardization bodies, such as those in telegraphy and electricity, which developed methods that later became universal.The two World Wars then led to the creation of national organizations, federated around the ISA, the predecessor of ISO. From the 1960s onward, Internet pioneers established standardization procedures negotiated within consortiums. However, the open digital space was quickly appropriated by its sponsors (GAFAM, etc.), which "capture" data and globalize disinformation. In response, the international standardization community has developed new digital standards – notably Privacy by Design – to restore secure and rational networks.The Institutional Standards Factory highlights how rethinking standardization can help restore technological and digital harmony. The growing interaction between standardization and legislative development, analyzed here, is fully part of this dynamic.
